Happy February

Happy February fellow runners! It’s been cold in Belleville, IL. Standard temperatures are reaching a high in the 30s and as cold as 10 degrees a few days ago. Needless to say, it’s time to pull out that cold weather running gear. I recently went for a run and my lungs were hurting so I have broken down and purchased a face mask. What a difference it has made. It’s breathable and very comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Looking forward to running in Feb. On tap tomorrow is The Nippy Niner out of St. Louis. This will be about 9 miles of on and off track fun. No doubt it’s going to be cold and muddy! I think I hear a new pair of shoes calling!
